Though the 1957 Buicks got plenty of flak for their styling, one of two Buick models for that year that escaped the majority of the criticism was the Caballero (technically the Buick Century Riviera Caballero Estate Wagon) as Alex Meredith wrote in his profile of the still-highly stylized four-door-hardtop station wagon in SIA #147, May 1995. Meredith took one for a test drive and found it fairly lively for a chromemobile hardtop wagon.

………this is the wagon to have……unfortunately it’s not for sale. They look even better with a modern wheel treatment and two tone (red above the spear in this case). The stagecoach style roof racks never looked quite right…..not sure if they came standard or not. 58′s were ok, too, but by ’59 Caballeros were history. Olds had matching “Fiesta” versions, but these seem more popular today. Maybe the only model and year where a wagon is worth almost as much as a convertible IMHO.
